Histories

Leutychides son of Menares succeeded to the kingship after Demaratus was deposed. A son was born to him, Zeuxidemus, called by some of the Spartans Cyniscus. This Zeuxidemus never became king of Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta, for he died before Leutychides, leaving his son Archidemus.

After the loss of Zeuxidemus, Leutychides married a second wife, Eurydame, sister of Menius and daughter of Diactorides; by her he had no male offspring, but a daughter, Lampito, to whom Archidemus son of Zeuxidemus was married by Leutychides.

But Leutychides also did not come to old age in Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta; he was punished for his dealings with Demaratus as I will show. He led a Lacedaemonian army to +Thessaly [22.25,39.5] (region), Greece, Europe Thessaly,[*](The date is uncertain; about 475 or 470, probably.) and when he could have subdued all the country he took a great bribe.
